the music is gone and with it
the small favors and familiars they brought
do you miss it?
do you miss them?
the colors were brighter
the sounds were louder
and some trick of the mind forgot
we were in a cage
or didn't and just
observed the decorations on the bars

the familiars were good
but why not spend the energy
improving things to last?

Why not do a lot of things?

It doesn't do to question the whims of a god, I've found. They live differently so they think differently. We'll just have to wonder on our own.

What was yours?

something small
furry
glided
not wings but connective tissues between the limbs
large eyes

I don't know what that could be, but if it was friendly to you that's all that matters.

it was very sweet

Strange they didn't stay longer. The fireflies lasted months.
